338. Story Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1 oz Martell Cognac VS
  1 oz Gammel Dansk Bitter Dram

Frappé (shake vigorously 30 seconds with shaker full of crushed ice, or else use two cups full of fine ice, and turn the mixture back and forth between the cups until very chilled), strain into cocktail glass, serve. — Boonekamp bitters are the licorice-forward kind, of which the flagship brand is recognized as Underberg’s. Gammel Dansk, a newer bitter, is more punchy, perhaps, but has some similar qualities. In any event, this post-prandial duo goes back to the first edition, JM1908. It was also picked up by Straub in 1913.
